LC SmartGlass - Privacy on Demand OVERVIEW LC SmartGlass™ offers instant privacy at the flick of a switch. All LC SmartGlass panels are bespoke manufactured using a lamination process which encapsulates a PDLC film between 2 or more glass sheets. Using a minute electrical current, users can immediately switch the LC SmartGlass from clear to private (opaque) and vice versa. LC SmartGlass is easily installed and can be utilised in many applications. Various configurations can be supplied including colour tinted, fire rated, double glazed, curved and shaped.

PRINCIPLE

When the electrical supply is switched on, the liquid crystal molecules align and incident light passes through and the LC SmartGlass panel instantly clears.

When the power is switched off the liquid crystal molecules are randomly oriented scattering light and the LC SmartGlass becomes opaque (private).

SPD SmartGlass - Solar Control

OVERVIEW SPD-SmartGlass™ can be manually or automatically “tuned” to control the amount of light and glare passing through a window. While glass is a favored product for use in building facades; glare, solar heat gain and UV exposure are problematic and can often make the use of glass impractical resulting in the need to invest in expensive solar shading devices. Glass facades using patented SPD light-control technology reduce the need for air conditioning during the summer months and heating during winter. The ability to instantly switch the glass to maximize daylight when it’s really needed and to provide controllable solar shading during peak light conditions is valuable and unique. All SPD SmartGlass panels are bespoke manufactured using a lamination process which encapsulates a SPD “Suspended Particle Device” film between 2 or more glass sheets.

PRINCIPLE

When the power supply is switched on, the rod shaped suspended particle molecules align, light passes through and the SPD SmartGlass panel clears. SPD SmartGlass protect from damaging UV when on or off. When the power supply is switched off the rod shaped suspended particle molecules are randomly oriented blocking light and the SPD SmartGlass becomes dark blocking up to 99.4% of light.

MANUFACTURING The production team at SmartGlass International Ltd uses a combination of experience, technology and skill to manufacture each SmartGlass panel to the highest levels of quality. In house proprietary manufacturing processes using an Autoclave lamination process employ heat, vacuum and pressure to produce a multilayer glass sandwich. Each SmartGlass panel is handmade & bespoke for the clients requirements. The production cycle lead time for each panel is 3-5 days depending on configuration. All of the materials used in the production process are of world class standard and while expensive; these materials ensure premium quality in the finished product. Each SmartGlass panel is assembled in a climate controlled clean room environment. Production employees are empowered to strive for World class manufacturing standards and individually sign off each bespoke made panel after manufacturing and testing. After manufacturing, cleaning and wiring each SmartGlass panel is tested by switching approximately 57,000 times in rapid on/off sequence. SmartGlass can be manufactured into various shapes including holes in the film. (Contact us for detailed explanation) All panels are bespoke manufactured and cannot be cut after manufacture. SmartGlass™ is real life field tested for in excess of 14 years.

20

SMARTGLASS PANEL LC & SPD Smart films are laminated between two or more pieces of glass. Liquid crystals - the same technology is used in digital watches, TV’s and computer screens. Liquid crystals are sandwiched between two layers of transparent conductive film to make LC Smart Film. The film is then laminated between two pieces of glass. When electricity is applied to the film the liquid crystals line up and the window is clear (slight haze). When the power is turned off, the liquid crystals return to their normal positions and turn the glass from clear to opaque. 2 wires exit the top of each unit where they are connected to a copper bus bar. Note: Framing needs to hide 15 mm where the bus bar is visible, generally at the top of the SmartGlass panel.

The electro active Smart film is sandwiched between two or more glass layers in a similar way to how normal laminated glass is constructed. The outer layers are made up of glass (normally 5 mm or 6 mm thick) each side, then an interlayer is inserted on each side to encapsulate the Smart film and bond the complete laminate.

21

LC & SPD Smart film’s are manufactured using electrically conductive ITO coatings, polymer matrix’, liquid crystals or suspended particles, adhesive films and bus bars.

SmartGlass - Transmission & Test Data

Energy Transmission Measurements To provide a better understanding of what these figures are measuring, the brief explanation below discusses the various spectrums of energy created by the sun. These are the same energy spectrums that building products and windows must endure on a daily basis. Some of the characteristics are positive and ones that we want to maximize, while others are detrimental and must be reduced or controlled in some manner. Electromagnetic energy from the sun is broken into a variety of categories or spectrums based on the wavelength of the energy. The three main spectrums that affect the building products industry, people and furnishings in commercial and domestic settings are UV, Visible Light and Infrared energy. Read on to see how SmartGlass can not only achieve immediate privacy on demand but can control, protect and enhance building environments.

ULTRA VIOLET - UV UV energy is not visible to the human eye and is typically broken into three categories: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVC energy is mostly rejected by the earth’s atmosphere, never reaching the earth’s surface. UVB and UVA energy pass through the atmosphere and reach the earth’s surface. As it pertains to the window market, most of the UVB energy is blocked by standard float glass. Clear double pane windows will reject almost all of the UVB energy.

23

Therefore the remaining UVA energy is the primary target. UVA energy passes through standard float glass, and can only be blocked by coatings or films that are capable of reflecting or absorbing this spectrum of light such as our SmartGlass technologies. UVA energy is the primary component responsible for fading of furnishings, art work and overall deterioration of fabric quality. The more a window product can reject or absorb the sun’s UV energy, the longer the life and quality of the items being protected. All window products should strive for the lowest UV transmission value possible.

VISIBLE LIGHT Visible light is the only portion of the sun’s spectrum that human eyes can see including natural daylight and all the colours of the rainbow. Visible light has mostly good attributes associated with it but eye strain associated with glare can cause serious problems for building occupiers. Natural light is often desired to make a home or building feel open or well lit. Large amounts of natural light will also reduce the need for lighting in a given structure, thus reducing utility costs. Windows that are tinted will have lower visible light transmission values. It should be noted that large amounts of natural light can also increase the amount of glare. This unwanted element can be aggravating in rooms with televisions or computer monitors and areas in office buildings where employees have to combat uncomfortable and often dangerous glare levels. SmartGlass allows the user to control visible light transmission and by choosing grey or blue tinted versions for specifically bright areas the user is protected and inhabits a safer and more comfortable environment.

INFARED – IR

Infrared energy relates to the heat energy that is emitted from the sun and is also referred to as radiant heat. Infrared energy is light that our eyes cannot see, but which our bodies can detect as heat. The radiant heat energy emitted by the sun in the solar spectrum is typically classified as Near Infrared (NIR) energy. This is the energy one feels as heat when standing in the sun. This is the same energy that hits a window surface and transmits through the glass to increase the temperature inside a building. Being able to “control” this near infrared energy transmission value allows a window to control the amount of heat that is added to a building by the sun. Decreasing the infrared transmission value of a window will decrease the amount of heat energy added to a building, thus reducing over-heating effects that occur in summer months and in hot climates. The use of SmartGlass protects building occupants and significantly reduces carbon emissions and costs associated with air conditioning and cooling. The ability of a window using LC SmartGlass™ to reject infrared energy will be directly related to a window’s Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). The lower the Infrared Transmission Value the lower the corresponding Solar Heat Gain Coefficient.

BALLISTIC RESULTS LC Smartglass has passed a number of ballistic tests with many different combinations of laminated glass and with many different calibre rounds up to standard BSEN 1063:2000 threat level BR6. Please contact us for further information and test results.

HAZE It should be noted that LC SmartGlass is not optically as clear as normal float glass. A haze in the form of clouding in the glass is considered normal and is unavoidable due to the nature of the product makeup. It should also be noted that ambient lighting conditions will have an effect on haze levels; direct lighting onto LC SmartGlass should be avoided. Every precaution has been taken to ensure minimum haze. Tinted glass can be used to reduce the visible haze such as blue, green or grey tints. It is essential that the end client understands that a degree of haze will be present depending on configuration and will not be considered as a reason for exchange or refund.

GLASS 1. Where used, all tempered glass complies with BS6206A. 2. Will be provided in the type and thickness shown on the project drawings or specified to the client. 3. Where glass type is not shown on the drawings or as specified, type and thickness will be supplied as

GLAZING GUIDELINES

Interior Butt Joint Glazing SmartGlass™ panels can be butt glazed using a recommended minimum of 9 mm in glass thickness. Long edges will be polished giving an even vertical finish. Panel thickness will vary depending on several conditions including the height and span of the glazed area. We will recommend the ideal glass thickness to protect against bowing and to provide safety, fitness for purpose and adherence with legislative guidelines. A standard neutral cure structural silicone sealant may be used to close the joint as specified by us. A minimum of a 4 mm separation between panels is recommended. Alternatively a plastic “H” section will be used instead of silicone to dry join panels. Refer to applicable local building guides for design load requirements regarding interior glazing. Safety and suitability for purpose will be treated as the main driving factors in assessing suitability for butt joint glazing. Note: Not all internal applications will be suitable for butt joint glazing and support framing may be required.

Operable Doors & Windows Swing door & windows can be glazed with SmartGlass. Cable connectors will be used to protect wires travelling between the door and frame where the wiring is then connected to the transformer/ power conditioner. Contact switches can also be used.

Do not install glass in dynamic frames such as operable windows or sliding doors, without the consent of SmartGlass International Ltd. Glazing to exterior and wet interior conditions must be wet-sealed and impervious to moisture with provisions to allow for weeping of condensation that may infiltrate of condensation in the system. Electrical connections must exit at the head of any framing system using SmartGlass panels in wet environment applications Pressure glazing systems without positive positioning stops are not to be used with SmartGlass. The glazier should place all electrical connections & wires properly to allow easy access by an electrician. Cut and seal joints of glazing gaskets in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendations to provide watertight and airtight seal at corners and other locations where joints are required.

38

GLAZING METHODS

Wet Glazing: If an elastomeric (non-acetic) sealant is used, it must be compatible with the SmartGlass panel interlayer. Never use putty or glazing compound to glaze SmartGlass. Exterior Applications - Insulated Glass Units made with SmartGlass can be installed as per normal glazing with the exception of accommodating the unit wiring. SmartGlass is suitable for glazing to steel, timber, aluminium and UPVC framing systems. Wet Glazing: Pre-shimmed glazing tape and non-acetic sealants are required to create a seal impervious to moisture for all exterior applications. Butt-Joint Glazing: SmartGlass panels can be butt-joint glazed in interior applications (Long edges polished recommended).

Non-Acetic Sealants Smartglass International Ltd only recommends SOUDAL SLIRUB 2 as the sealant for use in butt-joint glazed SmartGlass panel systems. 1 tube will be supplied with each SmartGlass panel as standard. Structural Silicone Glazing: Insulated glass units manufactured with SmartGlass should not be structurally silicone glazed unless agreed in advance & in writing by SmartGlass International.

FRAME DESIGN Frame edge clearance and face clearances may be used, except the edge bite must be 10 mm minimum and framing must include a hole of 6 mm diameter to pass wires through. To maintain a proper seal against the infiltration of water and air adequate bite and sealing is required. Inadequate clearance for the edges can cause damage due to glass-to-metal contact. Minimum edge clearances should allow for a tolerance of ±1.5mm. This should only be increased if the surrounding materials tolerances are difficult or impossible to control. The industry standard for framing deflection must be adhered to. The deflection must not exceed either the length of the span divided by 175, or 18 mm, whichever is less. All expansion joints and anchors must be designed so that the glass framing does not incur a load due to structural movement. Glass larger than .66 square meters should be placed on four EPDM or neoprene setting blocks. These blocks should have a durometer hardness of 85±5. They should be centred at the bottom quarter points (i.e. equal distance). The blocks should be 1.5 mm narrower than the channel width. Lock-strip gasket systems also require setting blocks. Recommendations can be obtained from the gasket manufacturers. Once the SmartGlass is installed, the architect, general contractor, or building owner should provide for glass protection and cleaning. Weathering steel such as Cor-Ten or alkaline materials may cause surface damage due to staining. Abrasive cleaners should never be used, particularly when the surface to be cleaned has a reflective coating. Windblown objects, welding sparks, plaster, or other material applied to the glass surface during construction may cause irreversible damage. SmartGlass International Ltd will not be held liable for damage caused by others; the main contractor is responsible for protection of glass on site following delivery & installation.

SHIPPING AND RECEIVING

SHIPPING Where applicable we manufacture shipping crates for all individual customer orders. These crates allow for protection of glass in transit but correct handling methods should be observed when off loading. Note: It is the responsibility of the client to off load glass deliveries unless otherwise agreed prior to dispatch. If no preferred carrier is specified, the SmartGlass panels for domestic customers will be shipped through our ground carriers. For overseas customers, specifying whether the freight should be shipped via Air or Sea is necessary. Where available, it is recommended to have the clients own agent to take care of the shipping and customs clearance issues. We can do so, at additional cost. Due to the difficulty in estimating the accurate weight and dimensions of the crate at the time of giving a quotation, the panels will be shipped Freight Collect with the full value insured. Alternatively an estimate will be provided and confirmed prior to despatch.

45

RECEIVING Before signing for and accepting the shipment from the carrier, inspect the crate(s) for the following items: a. Inspect crate(s) for visible damage. b. Check Tip 'N Tell indicator where used. If damage to any of the panel(s) is found, the shipping documents should be so noted and the driver's signature obtained as a witness. You should inform SmartGlass International immediately of any damaged panels. Photographs should be furnished within 24 hours. A freight claim should be filed to the carrier as early as possible. If you fail to inspect the shipment, the carrier and SmartGlass International Ltd. are not responsible for damage.

UNCRATING Ensure the crate is on a level surface. Before removing the lid unscrew screws which are holding the lid down. Be careful to lift the lid off the crate level on all corners. Remove straps holding panels on. Remove the panels carefully, one at a time, using the appropriate lifting methods. Warning: Loose cables from LC SmartGlass panels are not to be used for lifting, moving or positioning the LC SmartGlass™ panels. Ensure not to snag cables whilst lifting.

STORAGE Glass edges frequently sustain damage due to careless handling at some point between manufacture and installation, Handle with care. If the SmartGlass is to be stored on the job site or in warehouse conditions, proper blocking and protection should be maintained at all times. As with other flat glass products, the SmartGlass panels must be stored where the relative humidity is less than 80% to prevent the SmartGlass from staining. The SmartGlass temperature should be held nearly constant to prevent moisture condensation on the panels. Storage temperature range is -20 +50 °C (-4° +122°F). The crate should be kept in an upright position or tilted at 5° - 7° from vertical at all times using broad, sturdy uprights to support the weight of the crate. Alternatively the SmartGlass should be stored on a glass “A” frame in a position free from obstruction, traffic and danger. Note: SmartGlass panels can be heavy at approximately 27.5 kg/m2. Please be careful and take the weight loads into account when moving and storing.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

SUPPLIES NEEDED Installation of SmartGlass panels require the following items: A 16 AMP (minimum) Residual current device (Rcd) with Miniature circuit breaker (Mcb) or a Residual current circuit breaker with overload protection (Rcbo) must be used along with a fused spur at the connection point for the panel for localised isolation. A wall mounted switch, 230VAC 50/60 Hz (installer/owner supplied). This switch is required to allow the SmartGlass panels to be turned ON/OFF. Alternatively a radio remote control switch can be specified. SmartGlass power transformer. SmartGlass panels may be connected in parallel up to 4 square meters total area per single Tim 100 power conditioner/transformer. Bespoke electronic controllers can be used including “smart” systems such as Creston and ABX controllers. Note: Larger Power Conditioner / Transformers can be supplied to power larger areas of Smartglass, please contact us for further information.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS As with any electrical device, SmartGlass must be included in the electrical layout for each project. E.g. Position of spurs, switching layout, containment (conduit, trunking etc to house cables) connection boxes etc. The installation must meet all local rules and regulations. Also any metal frames which could come in to contact with the wiring of the panel must be earthed. Smartglass international is not responsible for these layouts however we can be contacted for further information.

WIRING

SmartGlass International requires that all SmartGlass electrical installations be completed by a licensed electrician, and in compliance with all local rules and regulations. Before installation, inspect bus bars, electrode leads and wires to assure insulation. No exposed bus bars, electrode leads, or wires should contact any metal frames that will damage the transformer and SmartGlass. Any metal frames must be earthed. Multiple SmartGlass panels should be connected in parallel with the transformer. Insure that the transformer "in" connects to 230V AC and "out" connects to SmartGlass panel. The output voltage is approximately 115V or 65V depending on the type of film used. Before turning on the power, test resistance reading between the metal frame and electrode and make sure that the resistance reading is infinite. Otherwise, check short location and insulate electrodes from metal frames. SmartGlass uses approximately 5 watts per square meter in the "on" (clear) state. No electricity is consumed in the "off" (opaque) state. SmartGlass can be controlled with either a single or multiple switches or by radio remote controller. NOTE: It is vital for correct operation that the switch/remote receiver is positioned on the mains voltage before the transformer/power conditioner. Failure to correctly install the switching mechanism may cause irreparable damage to the LC SmartGlass. Ensure the mains supply is switched off and take care when opening the power transformer, allow a few minutes to cool down. Internal electronic parts may be very hot, this is normal. Only open the power transformer in the areas noted safe for opening, never open the sealed body of the power transformer. Warning: Do not substitute a higher fuse rating! Fuse rating is critical to properly protect SmartGlass panels. A spare fuse is included on the inside cover of the power transformer supplied.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance is generally as simple as keeping the SmartGlass clean. Regular cleaning with neutral materials is recommended for optimum performance. In external windows soapy warm water performs best. Soft coated glass should be cleaned very carefully following the manufacturers own instructions. Use professional glass cleaner or a reputable cleaner. Annual checks: The client should check that all wiring is in good condition, framing materials are free of any damage and that the transformer and switch are in good visible order. The areas adjoining the SmartGlass including walls, ceilings and floors should be checked for structural integrity, excess humidity and temperature. Should any of these items appear unusual the client should immediately notify the original supplier / installer / contractor or SmartGlass International.

TROUBLE SHOOTING LC SmartGlass operates at 110V or 65V AC and 50/60 Hz. Higher voltages and frequency may cause permanent damage. Electrical service must be performed by a qualified electrician who has read and understood this document. Switch the power ON. Verify that the SmartGlass panel switches. If one or more SmartGlass panels are not operating, check the following 1. Check the circuit breaker to verify power. If there is not power from the circuit breaker, reset or replace the circuit breaker. 2. Visually check the condition of all wiring and that connections have not been broken. 3. Check the switch to verify power. If there is no power from the wall switch check the connection or replace the switch. 4. Check input to the power transformer of affected panels to verify power. If there is not input power to the power transformer, check the wiring between the wall switch and the power transformer for damage and continuous current flow. 5. Check output from the power transformer of affected panels to verify power. If there is no output power from the transformer, the fuse may have blown. Replace fuse with the same size and specifications which is available at electronic supply shops such as RS. Each transformer contains a spare fuse inside the protective cover.

If in any doubt, please contact us to resolve your issue.

TESTIMONIALS (Selection)

“LC SmartGlass was used to create a partition separating bedroom and bathroom in each room. Switchable SmartGlass was the ideal solution to create a bright open space as it not only lets more light into the bathroom but also gives the impression of increased space throughout the entire room.” Marites Araneta, Eccleston Square Hotel “I was thoroughly impressed by the funky, cool smart glass bathroom. I have never seen this type of glass before and it still impresses me even now. I enjoy showing guests the smart glass and seeing their genuinely positive reaction. The smart glass adds a lot of fun to guests stays!!” Kym Hammond – Reception Manager, the Brew House Hotel “The SmartGlass allows my team of care staff to effectively review patients safely and conveniently. This is a wonderful innovation that allows critically ill patients a high level of safety during their hospital stay.” David Mc Nicholas, Sunderland ICCU Manager “Dear Bob, On behalf of the Royal Institution, I am writing to thank SmartGlass International for supporting our Grand Launch. It was a truly special day, made even more memorable by the unique unveiling ceremony. Many thanks for donating the smart glass plaque and for all your help with the installation and testing that made it possible. I’m sure you’ll agree it was very fitting for the RI – the home of science and technology – to launch our new era using such innovative technology as SmartGlass. As a small token of our appreciation, I enclose a copy of the commemorative book from the launch, which was presented to HM when she officially opened the new RI.” Baroness Susan Greenfield - Director Top Gear Live has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of car theatre and each new tour requires incredible technology, passion and dedication to deliver the spectacle our audiences have come to expect. For the 2010/11 Prototype Tour I needed a company who could help me make a car turn from solid to transparent at a touch of a button. SmartGlass International were a great partner working meticulously with me to develop the car panels required for this unique hyper car and proved to be the perfect solution to a problem no one thought they’d ever have; how do I turn my car see through? Rowland French, Top Gear “We at Kentish Town Sports Centre have found the installation of Smart Glass to have been of great benefit to the service we provide to our many and varied customers. We run 'women only' swimming sessions for religious reasons or for other privacy issues and this means that we can have our pool in 'privacy' mode or 'open' mode for when the pool is being used for children's swimming lessons when parents like to observe from a distance. We have had no maintenance issues with this facility and would recommend this product to anyone in a similar circumstance to ourselves.”

Grant McCahon, Kentish Town Sports Centre

“From ordering to installation everything went smoothly. The finished room divider has added a new dimension to our working environment making the office seem much more spacious (replacing a wall) and giving privacy when required” Martin Travis – Symbolic & Chase “I’m very pleased with how the SmartGlass turned out; it was well worth the investment and continues to impress me” Michael Linnit – Chatto & Linnit Ltd

“We recently opened our brand new flagship clinic in Marylebone Village London. We decided to create a wall and door out of SmartGlass leading in to our Skin Experience room. The result is beautiful and clients have been really impressed. At night we open the glass and have the room all lit up and it has turned out to be an amazing feature in our clinic.” Theresa Candolo – Salon Manager, Skin Health Spa Marylebone London
